Speaking of Martin Scorsese, the all-time-great director is also eminently qualified to make an appearance on our list. You can see just from this picture of him standing with Leonardo DiCaprio - who is by no means a giant - that Scorsese isn't tall in stature. His legend in the movie business, however, is ten miles high and counting. Scorsese did more than make Joe Pesci a star - he did the same for Robert De Niro in movies like 'Raging Bull,' and 'Taxi Driver.' Without his influence, all we might know De Niro for is 'Meet the Fockers.'
When he isn't making millions of dollars at the box office, Scorsese is busy picking up awards. He has numerous Oscars and Grammy Awards to his name. If he put them one on top of each other, they'd probably tower over him - Scorsese is a mere 5 foot 4, just as Pesci is. Perhaps that's why so many of his characters are angry short men - they're all extensions of himself!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
